Xero is a cloud-based accounting system that enables company owners to run their business finances on the go anytime, from anywhere, using any electronic device. Xero allows businesses to raise invoices, track expenses and manage their finances in real time and on the go. It also helps businesses to work more closely with their accountants who can also access the financial information online to give real-time help and advice.

Mitchell Charlesworth partners Adam McGowan and Lorraine Whittaker are leading the Mitchell Charlesworth team involved in rolling out the software to clients.

Adam McGowan of Mitchell Charlesworth commented: “Despite the recent announcement that Making Tax Digital will not commence until 2020, many of our clients are already seeking advice on how they can prepare for the government’s digital taxation project and Xero will help us to provide them with a solution. As well as offering the digital software required, we’ll be able to provide training, business advice and follow up support.

“There are many time constraints when using more traditional desktop software and a move over to a fully automated digital solution like Xero will free up resources to focus on improving other areas of a business.”

Lorraine Whittaker of Mitchell Charlesworth added: “To be appointed a Xero Platinum Partner is great news for our clients as we have trained 37 members of the team on how to use the software to benefit their businesses and it means we’ll have access to all the latest updates directly from Xero. We always strive to deliver outstanding client service and achieving this status enables us to enhance the service we can provide to clients.”

Xero’s Partner Team Manager, Kat Bond, said, “We’re really pleased the team at Mitchell Charlesworth have progressed to Platinum Partner. Through the combination of Xero’s software and Mitchell Charlesworth’s depth of knowledge, businesses can keep on top of their cashflow, whilst their accountants can simultaneously view the accounts at any time and ensure that the businesses they support get the full use of their expertise.”
